But there is a solution. And, no, it’s not me paying attention to what I’m typing, I want something easier! How about this awesome little snippet to correct your commonly misspelled words, automatically?

//Correct my spelling
function CorrectIt($content) {
	$content = str_ireplace("chrsitmas","Christmas", $content);
	$content = str_ireplace("wordpress","WordPress", $content);
	$content = str_ireplace("dosen't","doesn't", $content);

add_filter( 'the_title', 'CorrectIt',1 );
